' Woman's place may be in tho home but her daughter's place seems to be in the auto. It was a clever swindle, and, though it may seem a para dox, many of the victims and would-be victims are as dis appointed as the thwarted perpetrators by the monkey wrench thrown into the machinery by the New York district attorney. The advertised "Who's Who in Heraldry," designed to meet the .demand for ancestors, has been exposed as a sort of made-to-order proposition. The publishers offered for a fee of $250 in advance to provide. any applicant with a coat of arms and list of distinguished forebears and to authen ticate them by inclusion in the "Who's Who in Heraldry." There have been countless family trees just as counterfeit, but this was the first attempt on record to place the practice on a big business, basis. Good bait for foolish snobs who ...hardly deeryp,J$iiig thus protected by the law. i !'"..' "EARLY" MEANS NOW . It is never loo early to shop for Christmas. Some, whom economic necessity does not confpel to postpone shopping until Christmas Savings funds are due and payable, begin the annual accumulation of gifts a year ahead, but the hosts now making their first rounds of the stores and shops come under tho classification of "early shopper." ' ; If cultivating generosity, taking pleasure in making others harpy and making the Christmas shopping period easier for oneself and countless salespeople is commercializing Christ mas, then a sacred day is being desecrated. The commer cialization of Christmas is but a necessary means to a de sirablo end. . Human beings find it highly human to spend eleven months of tho year gratifying selfish desires, even at the expense of others, but they find it no less human to devote tho twelfth to depriving themselves to make others happy. The greatest happiness of the year is derived, not from Christmas-gift receiving, but from Christmas giving. Avoidance of eleventh-hour crowds is not the only bounty paid the early shopper. As the objective is to buy the article tluft gives giver and recipient the, maximum of satisfaction and as Christmas stocks dwindle rapidly, it is essential that Christmas shopping be completed at the earliest date pos sible. Scattering happiness far and wide is the purpose of the custom of exchanging Christmas gifts, and it behooves each one to derive the maximum amount of happiness from his or her Christmas shopping. The one tried and true recipe is "shop early." From left: Ilrynn (iiitlnn, SllriTlijn; fnrl Anderson, Cherry Grove, ' uml Alex CriiickHhaiik, Mr.Minnvillc. . OREGON STATE COLLEGE; Corvallis.
